A bust-length portrait of a lady. The subject is depicted with dark, curly hair, wearing a high-collared white garment under a grey jacket or wrap, accented by a thin cord necklace. The work is housed behind glass in a dark-stained wooden frame featuring a decorative gilt-effect inner.
Condition report:
The frame exhibits significant damage, with substantial losses to the outer moulding on both the left and right sides. There is general surface wear and scuffing to the wood finish. The mount shows age-related discolouration, and small fragments of paper or debris are visible trapped between the glass and the artwork. The artwork itself displays some tonal variation consistent with age.
